Don't all priests know Latin??

After all the Second Vatican Council in the Decree on Priestly Formation, said that "they should acquire a command of Latin which will enable them to understand and use the source material of so many sciences, and the documents of the Church as well."

So why is it a condition before a priest says the Latin Mass- they all know Latin, don't they?
